Marvel has unleashed the new full-length trailer for “Guardians of the Galaxy,” which takes the company’s extended cinematic universe deep into the weirder reaches of space.

Considering the cosmic implications of the “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” finale, not to mention the interstellar chaos on Earth seen in “The Avengers” and the “Thor” films — “Thor: The Dark World’s” mid-credits scene featuring Benicio Del Toro as The Collector was a tease for “Guardians,” as a matter of fact — it’s high time for Marvel to stage an entire film beyond the stars.
